Win 2003 X64 R2 vs JET 4.0

I am finding mixed messages about this. Is it or is not possible to connect
to a Jet 4.0 database using ASP.NET 2.0 on the Windows 2003 Server R2 X64
platform?

I am having a hell of a time trying to open .mdb files that I my company
uses to upload data to SQL 2005 from remote clients. We've been doing it for
years, and the rest of our solution transfered without hitch to X64, but
people seem to think that Microsoft's recommeded 64bit platform doesn't talk
to one of their most heavily used products - I thought, "this can't be
right!".

Help...anyone...??

Have you installed the 64-bit edition patch for Jet SP8?
